So, tonight was another training group that I kinda help with some. It's a 10k program on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. I normally can only make Saturday's as I have class on Tuesday nights. It's spring break this week (yippee!!!!) so I went out with a friend that could kick my butt any day yet she is still actually in the program. She is seriously way overqualified for it. The loop was supposed to be 3 miles. Obviously it was a little short. I ran 2.85 in 26:20 which is huge for me. Y'all know I'm slow. REAL SLOW. I didn't know I had that in me. I wish I would've kept going around the parking lot in order to get a full 5k in. It would've been around 28 minutes; relatively slow compared to y'all. But, that is zooming for me. Needless to say, I was quite happy. I seriously didn't know if I'd ever break 30 minutes in a 5k. I guess that this running crap really is paying off ;-) I was pretty tired at the end. My legs felt very heavy. How do y'all maintain that pace (actually much much MUCH faster) for 26.2 miles (or more)? Wow. I see where I am on the running totem pole. I'm not even the dirt at the base of it... |
